THE protectionists who, like the
editor Of the Union, claim to be
Democrats are growing very uneasy
in regard to what will be done in
reducing the tariff. Either the
leaders in congress will go to work,
as the people demand they shall do,
or Mr.. Cleveland will announce the
true position of Democracy and mark
out the line Of policy which they
must either adopt or leave the party.
1t is a contradiction of terms to call
the Union Democratic paper and ii
may as well come out openly for the
radical party now as at a later date.
The watchword must be: If you
don't believe in the Democratic con-
fession of faith, get out of the church
and leave the camp-ground.

THE editor of the Union never re-
marks to the editor of the American as
the Governor of South Carolina re-
marked tothe Governor of North Car
DINA and hence there lisa lack of unan-
unity, so to speak, in their recent
editorials as to whether the Blair
bill is related to the Interstate pro-
gramme, and, if SO, whether the pro-
hibition plank is not really the 4th
section in which the ''long and short

the combined efforts of John Little

Mr.. BOYD JOHNSON brought to our
Office last Monday remarkable pie
ture-or collection of pictures -for it
contains life-like portraits of Hon.
Jefferson Davis, Gen. Bobert II. Lee
and Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson.
A front view shows an excellent
likeness Of Mr.. Davis as he appeared
about the beginning of the war; a
side view, with the picture turned to
the left, shows the grand features of
Gen. Lee; and when the picture is
turned to the right the lofty brow
and firm set mouth reveals the most
splendid soldier Of the South, Gen.
Stonewall Jackson. AS q work of
art we have never seen anything
equal to this skillful combination In
one picture of those three grand char
acters whose heroic deeds are indeli-
BILE recorded in the history Of their
native land.

[Rusellville Herald
Charlie S. Page, of Allensville, was
arrested Friday morning by Detective
Hunter, the noted Bardstown mar
shall, and Officer Shea, Of Louisville,
and carried to that city on a warrant
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The warrant was sworn out
by Barmberger, Bloom & Co., from
whom Page bought $l,4O0 worth of
dry goods before he failed in business
a few weeks ago. They claim that
they sold him the goods upon his
statement that he was solvent and
worth $4,000 outside of debts. De-
tective Hunter spent ten days at AL
lensville working upthecase. Messrs.
Claude Haddox and John s. Rhea
accompanied Mr.. Page to Louisville,
where he was released under bond of
$4,000. The trial was set for Friday.
Rhea and Browder Il Edwards are
his attorneys. The arrest has caused
great excitement at Alllensville.

THE UNIONS OBITUARY.

The Nashville Union of June End
says; "This is the last issue of the
Union," to which the Democracy all
over the State, from Carter to Shelby,
will respond with double-leaded
Amen.
Presumably Col. Colyar is to as
sumo the position now of "editor in
chief" of the American, and try to
make it the mouth piece of the pig
iron faction of which he claims to
be the leader. The farewell editorial
contains this misstatement:
The Democratic party, in its histo-
ry and in its continued struggle for
the greatest good to the greatest
number, is peculiarly party of the
people, but in this country-increas-
ing in population and diversified in
dustries as no other country ever
did-new questions are constantly
coming up not covered by the ancient
creeds of the party.
The falsehood in the above is con
tanned in the statement that "neW
questions are constantly coming III
not covered by the ancient creed o
the party" The principles of loca
self-government; of equal justice tC
all men; of a tariff sufficient for rev
enue only; of opposition to sumptu
airy laws, and opposition to thu
union of church and State are al
ancient" as the sentiment of per
sonal freedom and they contain tn,
elements of perpetuity which viii
exist as long as the people are cap
able of approaching the grand Idle:
of individual sovereignty.

Now, will Col. Colyar, or whoever

differs from the Chicago platform,

Randall and oppose the platform of

THE Courier. journal referring to


THE Courier. Journal referring to
the Nashville Union says:
When the accredited representa-

gins to discuss the tariff, listeners
should heed the admonition of
Prentlss to some little boys who had
climbed q tree to witness the duel
about to be fought by the great orator
with his life long antagonist, Foote:
Better get down from that tree,
boys, Mr.. Foote'S mighty loose in his
shootingW On another occasion
Prentiss said of Foote, "He's brave
man, but he couldn't hit barn door

it had the palsy, and he scatters like
an ancient fiint-lock musket loaded

Courier-Journal A case of sun
reasonable rates" in transportation
iias been unearthed for the considera-
ton Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. A railroad between Oil
City, Pa, and the Ohio State line,
which is mainly owned by another
railroad controlled by the Standard
oil monopoly, has been carrying the
Standard oil free and charging pro-
Aibitive rates on the oil of competing
concerns. Commercial diabolism
like this does not run generally
against repressive or correcting agen-
cies in the common way of trade, but
on the contrary, when left without
restraint, it grows and fattens upon
its piratical plumber until the law,
which can wink all day at private
wrongs, is at last compelled to
stretch forth its hand and throttle a
mower which Is getting big enough

to getting out railroad ties; this is
exactly right my brother, keep right

pricked Honward, and when you
hear a whoop from on High come a
running-yea, come shouting."

Union City Advance: While in
Nashville last week we heard many
conflicting rumors in regard to the
new paper to be started some time in
the sweet bye and bye. God knows
the simon bure Democrats are pray
ing earnestly for its birth. The
American under its new manage
ment seems to be all at sea. The
trouble is they are waiting for Col
var to make some disposition Of the
Union, and then he will assume
editorial control Of the American.
Colyar may be talented gentleman,
but he knows about as much about
Democracy as a Mohamedan does
about the Christian religion, and
that isn't much. The sooner the
new paper makes its appearance, the
better it will be for the Democratic
PARTY.
